*DEUTERONOMY 30: 15-18*
“See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws… But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient… You will certainly be destroyed”.

“Such was the state of Adam before he withdrew from the Divine Will: It was given to him by His Creator as the greatest gift, because It contained all goods as one. He possessed It, dominated It, and was ruler of this Divine Will, because God Himself had given him the right to master It.
Therefore, he was master of the strength, of the light, of the sanctity, of the happiness of this Eternal Fiat.
But when he withdrew from It, he lost possession and dominion, and reduced himself to receiving the effects of my Will, according to his dispositions, rather than possessing them as his own; and one who finds himself in the condition of receiving is always poor – he is never rich, because a rich person possesses, does not receive, and is in the condition of being able to give part of his goods to others.”
